That's right, its Mel. That Mel. Not to be confused with the other Mels.

Keeping this profile personal from the shenanigans I do on bluesky because I've been catering to the lgbtqia community for BG3 stuff, and it hit NSFW by commissions real quick. Expect weather and bitching on this one.

Current conditions: Thanks to snow drifts with heavy snow, I'm currently snowed in as both doors can't move it. Will have to find an exit through a window to clear it because dogs will need to pee eventually

Last 3 days been sleeping between 10-12 hours after work instead of doing my usual up to 6 hours cumulative between two naps. Nothing like doing the timewarp to suddenly be approaching the weekend

False Discord rumor: if your server has twitter/x links your server could get banned because they're in hot water with NCMEC

Discord isn't taking actions, so you don't need to go through and start scrubbing history. You can use automod to block the site for your own servers if you want though:

Just an FYI, you can easily ban Twitter/X links in your Discord servers with Discord's built in tools. Server settings -> Safety Setup -> AutoMod -> Block Custom Words. Add these in "Choose your word...

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.
